I’ve been blogging for a few years now, and love doing it! It is my outlet to just write, share things I come up with, creative ideas, and to have a forever memory of my life!
The main tool I use for blog planning and content is to use a monthly calendar. I bought this super simple one at the dollar store! It’s nothing fancy, but it works.
Here is the current month of January. I have a few reoccurring monthly posts that I can fill in each month. Here are some examples…
Weekly:
Sundays – Quote
Monday or Tuesday – Weekly Recap
Friday – Friday favorites
Once A Month:
What I Ordered on Amazon
Share Our Lives
What’s up Wednesdays
Currently
At the end of each week, I like to tally how many blog posts, Instagram posts, and Instagram reels I’ve made. A new thing I want to try and do more of this year is to make Instagram reels.
It can be hard to come up with ideas each month, but it’s fun to get creative and think of new things each year. And I love looking back on years past, how I’ve grown as a person, and how my life has changed.
How do you plan your content?
I use a paper calendar like this too!
It works!
This is actually a great idea. Several years ago I did use a paper planner when I was on a homeschool review team, but this would help keep me organized!
I could use my personal home planner for everyday use, but I feel like that would get way too messy. This simple monthly spread is perfect for a blog! Check out your local dollar store and just start!
I also grabbed a calendar from the dollar store and ours looks almost alike! Haha! I have vowed to be a more organized blogger this year!
That’s awesome! I usually get one from Staples, but saw this one at the dollar store and grabbed it. Works great. A calendar will definitely help to be more organized for blogging, good luck to you this year!
Can you be more specific about the content of your article? After reading it, I still have some doubts. Hope you can help me.
I use the monthly spread in my personal calendar to plan out my blog posts. I start with all the linkups and then go from there. It does help me remember what I want to share, but sometimes life gets going and my blog falls by the wayside. Have a great week!
